Gathering close to the water
scintilla of mischief in the air
fresh rain produced mud
adventure with a flair
Coming closer
mom turned around
siblings near
close to the ground
Siblings close to the puddle
excitement in my eyes
just one push
will ire arise
Pushing the first one
oh so much fun
hit face first
the others begin to run
Getting up
my sibling chases me
running through the mud
sounds of glee
Mom grabs my neck
then we both fall
covered with mud
silliness for all
Chided into the lake
dunked until clean
adventure was fun
should have heard them scream
Quiet now
lying in the shade
mom watching closely
mischief well played
